Now this post is triggered by a book that am currently reading “Games Indians Play” (now this is one way I say am reading something ;)). Though in the book the author uses a lot of tools like economics, mathematics, statistics, psychology, finance, game theory, behavioral finance and lot of other such subjects and concepts that I never understood, I am gonna just use 2 tools – Reality and Assumption (yea I know u’ll say assumption is one thing most of the above subjects use, but its ok, I have to copy at least something from the book right?!)
So let’s see what kind of good/ bad/ funny games friends play!!
(I’ll use he instead of always saying he/she, though it may be a specific he or she in certain cases, still let me just stick to he… it’s a lot easier to abuse a he than a she u see :P)
- When he says “fine”… its simple, he just wants to say – lets not talk about it anymore… whatever!!
- When he says “I’ll try”, he means “am sure I won’t”.
- When he says I’ll call u back – he just means “why did u call??, anyways bye!! And don’t call back!!”
- This friend wanted to convey that he got engaged (met him after a long time at a party)
He – hey so u engaged??
Me – no not yet..
He – oh!! Y??
Me – nah I just finished my mba… so (now come on, am not over age, that u r Y’ing it like that)
He – ok cool… anyways that pretty girl in white there… she’s my fiancé!!
Me – oh congrats!! Nice
- When he says “ill be there in ten mins, just left home”. It means - I just thought about getting ready so how about seeing u there after an hour (at least) or so?!!
- When he says “keep in touch”, it just means – I won’t, so keep in touch if u like to.
- When he says “I don’t give a damn!!”. This time he means what he says :D :D
- This friend wanted to know if I had a girl friend!! (I wish!! :P)
He – how’s life dude
Me – usual yaar, nothing much.. ok ok
He – so wat else?? wat r u doing these days??
Me - not much yaar! routine life, office-home (as if u dint know!)
He – oh!! So how many girl friends do u have??
Me – LOL!! I wish!! Why would I be talking to u now, if I had even one?! So do u have any??
He – yea man I have 2 -3 !!
Me – oh wow gr8!! (now I know, u just wanted to rub it in!! and at least be sure if the no. is 2 or 3 dude!! :D)
- When he says “sorry I forgot”, he means “what if I remembered?, I just dint want to …..!!”
- When he says “nothing much”, it just means – there’s a lot, but nothing worth telling u!
Will try and add more of these soon, just a short peek into friends mind this one ;) I have just read few pages of the book so far, so will be able to add more once I get more things to copy from the book!! :D
P.S – Any statements resemblance to any one either friend or foe is purely coincidental. You should have read it at
